Introduction
------------
Chips...what are they you ask? What do they do? Well chips are basically
weapons to aid you in your netbattling adventures. Some chips go a step further
and actually have an attribute. An attribute might be an element, or it could
just be representing a unique kind of chip that has its own family. In this
FAQ, we will be looking at all the different chip attributes.

Dark Chips
-------------
I know it is not very fair for a kind of chip to hog a whole section like that,
but it really is a special category. These chips appear in your custom screen
when you are getting badly hammered by a stronger opponent. These chips have a
very high attacking power and victory will almost certainly be yours if you use
these chips.
Symbol: A dot in the centre, identical to a normal chip.
Effect: Some give an incredibly high damage, while another turns the whole of
the opponent's area to poison. Others also heal you by 1000HP. Thus is the
variety of the dark chip.
Soul Unison: N/A
Examples: Recov 1000, Dark Cannon, Dark Geddon, Dark Sword
